Rob Zombie has posted a few pics from his fake trailer in Grindhouse which is titled Werewolf Women of the S.S. The photos were posted on his MySpace page which you can get to by clicking HERE.

The a little later Bloody Disgusting also posted them which you can look at by clicking HERE.

You can read another article up the photos and trailer at Cinematical by clcicking HERE.

Rob Zombie cast Udo in his fake movie Trailer shot for Quentin Tarantino’s Grinhouse movie which comes out this April. The Trailer is called “Werewolf Women of the SS” and also stars Nicholas Cage and Sybil Danning. Should be a blast and you can read more about it here.

Promptly after this was finished, Rob Zombie also cast Udo in his Halloween remake/prequel. There are articles Here and Here and Here. Here is a link to Rob Zombie’s Official Halloween page on Myspace.com. The movie is due for release in August this year.

Udo will have a part in a new film by Dario Argento and it begins shooting the end of October in Rome. Read two articles on it here and here.

Some new Icons were added to the photo gallery too!

ComingSoon.net has an exclusive interview with Headspace Director Andrew van den Houten about the film, and he mentions Udo in it.

CS: You have a lot of newcomers in the movie, but you also have small parts for known genre actors like William Atherton, Olivia Hussey and Udo Kier. Did you get them involved using the normal method of sending the script to their agents?

Van den Houten: Well, Udo Kier I met through his lawyer who had seen one of our short films in L.A., and then through his manager, I got in touch with Olivia Hussey. Dee Wallace, I contacted her agent up directly and then they said, “You should consider Sean Young” because they were representing her at the time as well. William Atherton was friends with the writer of the movie, and Larry Fessenden had worked with Bill Miller, where Bill had shot second unit for one of his films. Mark Margolis, I actually cold-called the agent as well, and told him I was a huge fan of the role he played in “Pi” and told him there was a similar role in “Headspace” for him, and it all kind of fell in place.

I’ve been behind for a long time due to my own job that I enlisted some help by another generous and super nice Udo Fan named Nooperz! I have to thank her for all her hard work and her efforts. And that doesn’t even cover the fact that she is just a super sweet person! She’s been an enormous help to me and some inspiration to keep my butt in gear with the site. Nooperz is very good at designing graphics so she has made some cool Icons and a few Wallpapers of Udo! We also set up a whole new photo gallery and an Udo Fan Forum which is also new. Please check them out, say hello on the forum or post a topic. When I get some time I hope to upload some video clips too.

Headspace is now on DVD and available to rent or buy… Udo has a ghastly death scene. His part is more of a cameo but the film is pretty unique and weird. Be sure to check it out.

The Plot Summary at imdb.com says:

The plan was to spend one night in the abandoned Royal Crescent Hotel, where in 1985, five students were murdered, their killer never found. What was supposed to be just a night of fun, hunting for the victims’ bloodstained rooms, suddenly changes when they find a severed hand and awake an evil presence within the hotel. Now they are running for their lives, trying to solve a mystery one hundred years old-and morning is still very far away.

This is a direct link at imdb for the Movie info

The trailer and even more details are available at the Official site Pray for Morning

The trailer by the way looks great and Udo’s role of course looks cool.

Here are 2 links to 2 very cool and weird Udo videos. They were on youtube.com before and then removed so I do not know how long they will stay up this time. They are a must see for any fan! If anyone can help me to obtain these for this fan site then please email me at bloodyolga@aol.com
